Question

How do I get around? Do I need a car?

A car is not necessary, as all the wedding festivities are within walking distance. Driving and finding parking can be extremely difficult.

Question

IS COLOMBIA REALLY AS DANGEROUS AS THE MEDIA PORTRAYS?

Answer

Colombia is like any other country, there are good places and bad ones. Cartagena, specifically its walled city, is very tourist friendly. That being said, like with any city, please be mindful of your surroundings. Use the buddy system and avoid things like walking alone at night or down sketchy roads. We recommend you don't draw too much attention to yourself. Wearing your best jewelry and name-brand handbags is not the best idea.
